Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Tapper arcade 52 levels just for fun (NOT a speedrun)

Goal of this TAS:
-Show everything there is to see in the game

Index:
-Dancing Girls: 11:46, 19:05, 22:56, 15:53
-The game getting faster and faster when you try to make the biggest possible score in one level 18:57 (level 42)
-The Bartender get watered by beer 18:50
-The Bartender doing a kind of moonwalk 19:12 (only possible in a TAS)
-See RNG manipulation in action, starting from level 43 at 21:55 (only possible in a TAS)
-Minor graphical glitches, look at the end of almost every level (only possible in a TAS)

Notes:
-Tapper is at 30 fps (at least in Mame)
-Even in a TAS it is not possible to serve beer faster. You have to press the Tap button for 5 frames and release for at least 2 frames. 7 frames at 30 fps = 4.2 beer/sec
It take 8 frames to change bar, you can press up or down from 2 to 9 frames to be optimal.
A good Tapper player should be able to play as fast as this TAS.
-It is possible to generate small graphical glitches.
Double height of beer, beer outside of glass.
Those are near impossible to do in real life. For example: to have double height beer you have to do : 1 frame left or right, 4 frames tap, 1 frame left or right, 4 frames tap, 1 frame left or right

-It is possible (in a TAS) to manipulate the RNG, I do it starting from level 43.
For those levels you will notice that they are all done rapidly.
My goal was not to have slow drinkers.
Each time you press or release a button, you change the rng. So, I just inserted a frame or two in the places where the result was not in my taste.
Rng manipulation is not possible in real life.
Rng manipulation is as if in poker you could change the cards you have in your hand for better ones if you are not satisfied with the hand you have.
